Lt. Gov. Dave Wasinger, a former UM curator, called the officiating "atrocious." Athletic Director Laird Veatch wrote to fans that the school won't make its talks with the SEC public. He added that he and President Choi will push for replay booth transparency in the SEC this offseason.

“It's OK to acknowledge that Saturday hurt. In fact, our collective frustration and disappointment is evidence of how high our program expectations have elevated.”
